Re: MCCh 2020 (21) November 30
Updates playlist:
The Microphones in 2020 is still not on Spotify. Here it is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7BkabF31ak
Yeah, these last updates have been poor (unless you are shocked by losing The Chats, again). I don't think that the actual release schedule was quite as sad, but it doesn't somehow make MegaCritic.
Also, look at that Nicolas Jaar drop.

I think his point was more that there should be more, better albums being released, and that the lack of high quality albums is frustrating, not picking out Megan Thee Stallion specifically for criticism.Wisnu Tirta Aji wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 4:27 amNumber 45 mean Good News by Megan Thee Stallion.

Re: MCCh 2020 (21) November 30
They certainly are. Every year, there are a few albums that seemingly come out of nowhere when the EOY lists start appearing, and these two albums may turn out to be the ultimate examples of this phenomenon. I became aware of their existence via the 2020 list on the Album of the Year website, but even on Rate Your Music and Best Ever Albums they're nowhere near the top for the year, or the middle, or practically anywhere. SAULT's performance so far on the EOY's is pretty astonishing.
